Wickety Wickety...

...good mood! I have no reason to be in a good mood, but positivity is here. It's been a minute since my last post. A little bit has happened since then. In lieu of a list, I'll speak in paragraph form.
Jason's friend, Ryan Reichle, came to visit from the Great White North (read: Michigan). All times are approximate.
8 pm- Reichle got to our place
8:30- I got home from my night class
8:32- I took my first sip of a Whiskey and Cherry Coke Zero
8:55- I took my first sip of my second Whiskey and Cherry Coke Zero
9:15- I got into the shower
9:16- I quickly realized that I'd only eaten AN omelet that day
9:16-9:22- I tried to stay upright in the shower
10:30- We walked through the doors of the Illustrious North 40 Club
10:32- I took my first sip of my *insert cringe here* Diet Coke and 151
11ish- I took my first sip of my second DC and 151
12ish- I took my first sip....you get the idea
1ish- Jason told me that he and Reichle are leaving. "I know that you're gonna say no, but I think its a good idea for you to come with us."
1ish- I declined the invitation to leave
1:30ish- I asked Beau to run to the bar and get me another DC and 151
10 am- I woke up on the futon in our living room
10:01- I fell face first on my bed
2pm- I woke up.

Short story long, I don't know what happened during that "gap" in time. My jeans had mud all over them. My torso had/still has several scratches. Bruises are clearly evident. Scary.

Now that THAT's out of the way, the Arkansas Intramurals State Basketball Tournament was held in Conway this weekend. My team won the Tech Tournament, so we get to go to UCA and play the best teams from the colleges in the state. We beat all the teams in our pool. Oops. We got the #1 seed in the bracket. Double oops. We won the whole damn tournament. Triple oops. I was named to the All-Tournament Team. OopsOopsOopsOops. That's how Daddy does it. What does this mean? In two weeks, we get to travel to Mississippi State University and play the best teams in our region. Guess who is gonna act a damn fool in Starkville, Ms? Me. I'm the answer to that question.

PS: My phone is all kinds of f*cked up. A new one will be had SOON.

Valentine's Day Early

Ok. I know that it's a day early, but I had to make a Valentine's Day post. I, myself, do not have a "valentine" this year. Why? My own fault. I'm not THAT person that sulks because they do not have a significant other. Plans for tomorrow? I'll probably go out and have dinner, come home, maybe watch a movie, and drink some wine. Sounds fun.

I would like to say that I love each and every person that reads this blog. How do I know that? Well, I don't have too many readers, so it's not that hard to figure out. I'm thrilled that each of you are a part of my life. I'm a better person because of it.

***I'm adding this song simply because it's my favorite jam right now. I love it, and it loves me. Maybe this song can be my valentine.***

It's been a long time...

Why the lack of posts? Nothing much has been happening in Mikey's World (don'tcha know). I'll celebrate that fact with this list:

• I'm 2 1/2 weeks deep into my No-Carb Diet


• Sundays are wonderful because they're my cheat day


• I wish Jason would quit dragging his feet about Spring Break and just find a cruise


• Yes, my first cruise is in my immediate future


• Undefeated in intramural 5 on 5 basketball....obviously


• Hazelnut Cream candles make my bedroom smell fantasmic


• The weather is warming up, and you know what that means: Sand Volleyball Soon!

Manic Monday

Ahh, Monday. I'm feeling refreshed today. I know what you're saying/thinking: "Mike, why in the name of Zeus are you feeling refreshed on a damn Monday?" I'll tell you. Since I started my carb-diet last week, I had felt sluggish all week. Sundays, however, are my "cheat days," so I was able to eat and drink whatever I wanted yesterday. Best believe...that Daddy put in WORK. Here's a rundown:

• 2 Cinnamon Twists Donuts


• 1 Glazed Twist Donut


• 1 Pint of Chocolate Milk


• 1 Turkey Bacon Swiss Sub from Arby's


• 1 Chicken and Swiss Sandwich from Arby's


• 20ish Pizza Rolls


• 3 Coronas


• 3 Shots of Homemade Kahlua


• 5 Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier (I wholeheartedly recommend it)


• 2 Hamburgers off the grill


• 1 Pint of Phish Food Ben and Jerry's


• 1 Bowl of Lauren's Strawberry and Blueberry dessert dish (with Cool Whhhhip)


• 3 Beddar Cheddar Brats

• 25ish MORE Pizza Rolls


• 6 Nutty Bars


• 2 Glasses of Milk
